Answer: x = -41.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute the 4 that is outside of the parentheses.
4 times x = 4x
4 times -11 = -44
Then to isolate the variable add 44 to both sides of the equation to cancel out -44.
-44 + 44 = 0
-210 + 44 = -166
Now your equation should 4x = -166
To find x, divide both sides of the equation by 4.
4x divded by 4 is x.
-166 divded by 4 is -41.5.
So the answer is x = -41.5.
To check the answer, plug in -41.5 to the x.
4(-41.5 - 11) = -210
